Whoever was shocked and awed by the curbing scene in AHX is a fucking light-weight. It's a dummy for crying out! Get a life!
It is a representation of something that happens all the time. It's real. THAT is what makes it turn my stomach. Plus, like I said, I'm pretty sure my fuckhead dead grandpa used to do that shit. He's beat up black people and latinos with a blackjack. I'm so sorry that something personal has more effect on me that the most realistic effects.The lynching - murder scenes in "
Mississippi Burning" upset me terribly.
As Uschi stated, it's when something represents events that may have or actually did happen is when it is most shocking...
